JOYREEL / SUNSET TEENS. 2 TRACK 12" VINYL AND DIGITAL SINGLE AVAILABLE ON WERKDISCS NOW.
TRACKLIST -
A1 - Joyreel
B1 - Sunset Teens
NOTES:
''Nottingham producer Lone drops another two tracks of crackling compressed beats to burn some ear holes. Although Recently signed to Werk Discs it has not changed his signature motifs: the bubbling melody lines, the popping, sticky drums of 808 and the hazy gauze of retro-psychedelia. Heady matter from the cosmos...'' Bleep.com
''Prime pick from the Werk Discs camp delivering the first 12" from new signing Lone. The more clued up beat heads among you will remember his 'Lemurian' album from last year, a set which recieved critical acclaim from many corners of the industry falling for his sun-shot blend of post-Dilla hip-bop and shimmering synthlines akin to the likes of Flying Lotus or Werk bloke Lukid. 'Joyreel' is eerily reminiscent of prime Boards of Canada and classic electro-soul with crackin' handclaps and mottled rhythms sounding like he left the master tapes out in the sun for too long. 'Sunset Teens' on the flip steps on submerged 808's and an angular old-skool R&B flow with mesmerizingly hazy vibes to rock out of your car's boombox on blazing hot city days. This is only a taster for a heavyweight album due to drop very shortly and comes with a big recommendation!'' Boomkat.com

TRACKLIST -
A1 - Sharpest View Of The Sun
A2 - Fly Fire Rainbow
B1 - A Ridge Between Mountains
B2 - Midnight Feast (Bibio Remix)
NOTES:
''Sedative hip-hop instrumentals from one of our favourite producers, Lone. Four tracks of breathy, choral vocals that drift around heavily compressed beats; alternating between a stuttering, disco style '4x4' funk to a heavy, broken lumber. Lush. And just when you think it can't get any better, Warp signing, Bibio, weighs in with a beautiful, multi-coloured version of 'Midnight Feast'. Another essential from Dealmaker and a 'must buy' for fans of Sa-Ra, Hudson Mohawke and Dam Funk!'' Bleep.com

NOTES:
''Lone (Matt Cutler) has something that I think is very healthy for an artist to have in this age of myspace music and the vast array of underground labels, and that's a strong identity - I could spot a Lone track by hearing one or two bars, he has a personality in his music that is vivid. I reckon that Lemurian could provoke synaesthetic reactions in those who don't already have the condition, that is, its character seems to extend beyond the sonic domain into some other sensual domain. I think that if Lemurian was a colour, it'd be aquamarine. If it had a smell, it'd be seaweed on the breeze. If it had a taste, it'd be saltwater. If it had a texture, it'd be scratchy coral. 'Sea Spray' is about as fitting a title as you could get for a Lemurian track. As well as filling your ears with faded loungey chords, bursts of weathered VHS stings and Hawaiian musical postcards, Lemurian is caked with the thickest punchiest soulfully- shuffled hip hop beats that would satisfy anyone who simply has to nod their head to enjoy themselves. This is also daydream music, you can't listen to it without going off somewhere. Personally, I slip into the daydream of being sucked into the 80s arcade game 'Outrun' and tearing around a looped pixellated parallel to Miami or some other palm-tree-avenued sea front, with Lemurian pumping out of the car stereo of course.'' - Bibio (Warp records / Artists' Valley Records)
''Nottingham's Matt Cutler dropped this ear tickling debut with a coolness that few matched in '08. Brimming with heavily compressed beats that fidget and ache and groove against a miasma of aqua-sonics and soul-drenched samples; if this has been the year of the wonk then Lemurian stands proud as one of its more intriguing documents. At once disconcerting and beatific, Lemurian's shoegazing loveliness is THE unique take on the sound of tomorrow.'' - Bleep.com (Best of 2008 end of year mail out)
''Kaleidoscopic, shimmering hip-hop instrumentals from Lone that fill your ears with warm nostalgia and sails you away into a nebulae of opiated psychedelia. Superb, accomplished 17 track album for Dealmaker... Post-Dilla beats stumble amongst the emotive selection of samples - all lovingly selected and processed to provide a perfect seasonal soundtrack'' – Warpmart (Album of the Week)
“Lens Flare Lagoon conjures up the glistening, watery effect suggested by its name, and 'Buried Coral Banks' has a Boards Of Canada-meets-Jacques Cousteau feel that's hard not to love” – Boomkat (Album of the Week)
